In the darkness, silence spread for a long time, and was finally broken by Kayon.
"Why would he join you."
"What?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid. I already know that the one who attacked me outside the church earlier was the damn prophet of the Eighth Legion, the disgusting Talos Valcoran... Although I didn't notice it at the time, I realized it later.
Recalling that unique soul fluctuation, the entire Eye of Fear probably
I can't find the second one either. I've seen him before and I won't admit his mistake. Don't doubt Qianzi's memory."
Soshyan hesitated for a moment. He didn't know if Kayon was deceiving him, but since he could call Talos' name, there was a high probability that he already knew it as Kayon said.
But if you admit it yourself, will there be any trouble in the future?
Just as he was thinking, slow footsteps came from behind.
"Iskandar Kayan."
Melodious voices echoed in the dark cell.
"long time no see."
Kayon immediately turned his ears, as if he couldn't hear what the other party was saying.
"It's really you."
Soshyan turned around and saw Talos' figure emerging from the darkness. He was not wearing a helmet, with a mocking smile on his face as pale as a corpse.
"What are you doing here?"
"Ha, of course, meet old friends."
After hearing this, Kayon had a look of disgust on his face. He didn't know whether it was because of the other person's words or the other person's voice.
"Cursed fate, why can I still hear you speak."
The smile on Talos's face grew wider.
"Why? You and I know it very well."
"what are you guys saying?"
Soshyan on the side was a little confused, but Talos just waved his hand.
"As a result, you not only escaped, but also attacked the Spirit of Vengeance, leaving us to fight alone. Eight hundred and fifty warriors fell under the vengeful wrath of the descendants of Sanguinius...including Leo."
"That Fire Fist Leo? I remember, he seems to have a good relationship with you."
Talos was still sneering.
"But our goals are different, dear Tizka people, we never sacrifice our lives for anyone, we only fight for the side that can afford the price, but life is priceless, and no reward can exceed our own life, so
We will not be buried with some arrogant careerists when we know we are unable to defeat... Until now, this foresight has still benefited us a lot."
Kayon said nothing.
"Besides, what's the big deal with a World Eater's life?"
Talos continued to mock Khayon.
"You understand Leo's crazy ending better than anyone else. One day, he will turn into a body that only knows how to salivate and howl, offering bloody sacrifices day and night to the god who treats him like an ant - regardless of me.
Have I helped you? At least I made him fall on the battlefield instead of dying of internal execution like his kind."
Kayon still didn't speak, or even showed any emotion.
"No one lives in the past like the Tizcans."
Talos' words sounded like some kind of slang.
"You misunderstood my intentions."
Kayon finally spoke to answer him.
"When talking about those past events, I actually didn't expect to get any answers from you."
"Why?"
"I need to know what you really think, Talos, and make a judgment based on it. If you are really not ashamed of what you have done, then I will definitely kill you and cut off your hopeless body."
Brain.”
The next second, Talos's sharp laughter was like the roar of a wounded animal.
"Kill me, please, who is kneeling on the ground now?"
The prophet's laughter gradually deepened.
"Kayan, you know, neither you nor I will die here. Although Soshyan won't kill you, it doesn't mean that I can't add some food to you."
"Despicable gutter rat."
Kayon only said this in reply and stopped speaking.
Talos turned to look at Soshyan.
"Leave him to me for a while?"
Soshyan shook his head.
"No, let's do this for now."
"You do love and protect him."
"he--"
The chapter leader of the Astral Knights looked at the prisoner, then turned and walked towards the door.
"——It's still useful for the time being."
Talos smiled and followed immediately.
When they left the secret cell at the bottom of the deep monastery fortress, the one-meter-thick alloy door immediately closed heavily, and at the same time, numerous anti-psionic devices were activated.
"Talos, I thought you were going to ask me why I didn't kill him."
"Do I look that stupid?"
The two walked side by side in the cloister on the ground floor of the monastery, with only lighting balls providing low light on the surrounding columns.
Suddenly, Soshyan sighed.
"I don't know if it's the right or wrong thing to do."
"Are you scared?"
"Strictly speaking... one thing is that his identity is unusual. Although I successfully caught him this time, I always feel that there was a big hand pushing him in front of me."
Talos sniffed.
"Did you just notice?"
“There is so much fog around me, and sometimes I really don’t know where to go.”
Entering the elevator, Soshyan's face darkened.
"It feels really uncomfortable to be arranged by others."
Talos forced a wry smile on his face.
"It was precisely after our original body understood this that he became crazy. He wanted to use his madness to tear up the established dark destiny, but in the end... he failed."
"how about you?"
"Me? I don't like deliberate craziness. I always choose to follow my heart."
"Is it true...?"
Under the dim light, the two of them were silent for a long time. As the elevator trembled, the protective door slowly opened, and a ray of sunlight penetrated in.
The two people walked out of the elevator and suddenly appeared in an open-air courtyard.
The place is lush and green, with pools, flower beds and statues everywhere. There is also a fountain in the middle. Clear sunlight fills the courtyard from the sky. Several silent servitors are pruning and drying water.
This is not a public space, but a private courtyard. The only entrance is Soshyan's room, which is also where he rests and relaxes on weekdays.
"Talos, you have been with them, do you think Abaddon will come to take revenge in the future?"
Walking to the edge of the pool and watching the fish swimming inside, Soshyan took out a handful from the bait box on the side and threw it into the pool, watching the colorful fish compete with each other.
"Since he wants to organize the Thirteenth Black Expedition, he must not create extraneous problems or waste energy before the expedition is launched."
"But this is Abaddon's blood-allied brother, the third member of the Black Legion."
"so what?"
Talos sneered.
"When the Sons of Horus were besieged by eight legions in the Eye of Terror, when the Emperor's Sons dug up his father's tomb, his choice was to abandon his blood relatives and subordinates and steal the legion's flagship.
He ran away without even replying... Do you think this kind of person really cares about brotherly love?"
"Even so, he still has to give an explanation to his subordinates, right?"
Talos shook his head and asked the servitor to bring him a plate of fresh fruit. He picked up the brightest looking one and swallowed it in one gulp.
"I've thought too much. Khayon's popularity is actually not very good. Not many people in the Black Legion like him. What's more important is that he doesn't have much use to Abaddon anymore... I heard it before
, Abaddon has begun to recruit Ahriman, the 'Scarlet Letter', and Khayon's existence will become an obstacle. In terms of fame and witchcraft, Ahriman is much better than Khayon, but the feud between the two is quite deep."
After a while, Talos ate all the fruit on the plate.
